Ratty photos!
To explain: the rats have discovered their mostest favoritest new toy, the windowsill.
Uh, yeah, I too am confused by the strange ways of the ratty mind.
Namely, Ruki and Bya-chan are content to merely lounge about in the windowsill. To prevent this (they chew on the screen), I've tried closing the slats of the window cover, but Renren, being a Sneaky Ninja Rat, has discovered that if he pushes hard enough against certain spots, the slats will open.
Renren, however, is not content to merely be a Sneaky Ninja Rat, and has also decided that he is a Famed Circus Rat. That is to say, he has discovered that he can climb up the window slats!
Unfortunately, he's still figuring out a good way to get down. So he'll climb, look down, think, "Huh, that's a lot of space down there!" Then you can just see him trying to figure out how to get down, but since he doesn't know how, he'll keep going, in the vain hope that it will bring him closer to the sofa. Alas for Renren, it is not the case.
Just for reference, the window is about four feet high. I have to tiptoe to reach the top when I'm standing on the sofa.

how do you keep them from running free (and not coming back)?
whenever i have small crawly pets, either they are in my hands, or else they are trying to make a break fo the hills.

Also... aren't the rats insane? You have got to come visit just to watch them climb the windows (especially Renren, because he gets so confused).
